摘要
目的观察并探讨凋亡相关基因Fas/FasL在严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)病变组织肺、脾、淋巴结中的表达及其在SARS发病中的作用。方法2003年3月至5月,应用免疫组织化学方法对南方医科大学南方医院病理科4例SARS患者尸检组织及正常对照组织(取自非SARS患者尸检个体)肺、脾、淋巴结进行检测。结果与正常组织相比,SARS肺组织肺泡上皮细胞、支气管上皮细胞、巨噬细胞;脾脏及淋巴结淋巴细胞及单核巨噬细胞Fas,FasL表达增强。结论Fas/FasL过度表达在SARS病变组织中普遍存在,提示Fas/FasL介导的凋亡途径在SARS发病过程中可能起一定作用。
Objective To study the mechanisms and expressions of Fas/FasL in the lungs, spleens and lymph nodes of SARS patients. Methods The lungs,spleens and lymph nodes specimens of four autopsy cases and one control subject were studied with immunohistochemical mehod. Results Compared with normal tissues,apoptotic cells increased significantly in the spleens, lungs and lymph nodes of SARS patients. The apoptotic cells of lungs included alveolar epithelial ones, bronchial epithelial ones, monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes. Apoptosis in the spleens and the lymph nodes was observed primarily in monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes, Conclusion Over-expression of Fas/FasL is a general phenomenon in SARS,suggesting that Fas/FasL may play a key role in the pathogenesis of SARS.
